Rear Admiral Seth Amoama<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ghana Navy will soon take
\ndelivery of new ships for the protection of the country\u2019s offshore oil and gas
\ninfrastructure.<\/p>\n

Minister of Defence, Dominic
\nNitiwul the government is procuring two offshore patrol vessels \u201cwith reach and
\nendurance capable of staying at sea for a long time to be able to patrol our
\nexclusive economic zone (EEZ) of 200 nautical miles and extended continental
\nshelf of 350 nautical miles.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have also signed a
\ncontract worth 200 million dollars for the construction of a forward operating
\nbase at Ezinlibo and associated patrols boats in the western region to give
\nclose protection to out offshore oil and gas infrastructure,\u201d he added during
\nthe International Maritime Defence Exhibition and conference in Accra on Wednesday.
\u201cAs we all know the sea is the super high way for global trade and Africa\u2019s quest
\nfor a continental free trade area cannot be successful without a secured
\nmaritime domain,\u201d he said, adding \u201cthis means, as Africa mobilizes to navigate
\nthe future together now through the 2050 Africa integrated maritime strategy,
\ninteragency cooperation as well as joint and combined collaboration among land,
\nsea, and air forces in Africa, would be integral to the achievement of this
\nvision.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Chief of Naval Staff (CNS),
\nRear Admiral Seth Amoama said piracy and armed robbery in the Gulf of Guinea
\ncontinue to pose significant threat to regional and international shipping.<\/p>\n

\u201cIncidents of theft,
\nkidnapping for ransom, illegal fishing and drug trafficking are common across
\nour oceans.\u201d<\/p>\n

To address these maritime
\nsecurity challenges, the CNS said several collaborative attempts have been made
\nand key among them was what he called \u201cthe synergistic approach to dealing with
\nmaritime crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conference organised by the Ghana Navy in conjunction with Great Minds Events, forms part of the Navy\u2019s 60th anniversary celebration and was being attended by over 15 chiefs of navies from Africa and beyond and several other very senior admirals as well as over 300 delegates and exhibitors from 25 countries and 34 organisations.<\/p>\n
